Submit your application

Register Your ONID Account

Once you have been admitted (including students enrolled in the Degree Partnership Program) you’ll receive an Oregon Network ID (ONID) account. Your ONID serves as your university email address and as a log-in credential for university services.

Go to the ONID website to activate your account; select “Sign Up for ONID” on the left hand side.

5. Find a Roommate

Fill out the Roommate Questionnaire

For students who complete the application and paid their Advance Tuition Deposit by May 1, 2019, the day after you submit your housing application, you will receive an email to your ONID address with a login invitation to the My College Roomie online roommate matching system. Filling out the My College Roomie questionnaire will help you find someone in our online roommate matching system if you want to choose your own roommate, and will help our staff match you if you do not choose your own roommate.

If you complete the housing application after May 31, 2019, our staff will match you with a roommate.

Return to My College Roomie throughout the spring to search for potential roommates. Make sure they are eligible for the same communities you are. If you wish to live in a triple or quad room, you can select more than one roommate. See more roommate matching tips.

If you have a friend you already know you would like to live with, you both must fill out the My College Roomie questionnaire and then select each other.

If you wish to select your own roommate, you must confirm your roommate matches through My College Roomie by May 31, 2019. If you do not confirm a roommate in My College Roomie, our staff will match you with a roommate.

6. Room Assignment

All Done?

Students must complete all items in Steps 1-4 before they can receive a room assignment.

Room assignments begin

Room assignments will begin in June 2019 for students who completed their application by May 1, 2019. You will receive a room assignment based on how early you completed your application. Students who did not complete the application by May 1, 2019, will receive room assignments later in the summer.
